Yes, but what bit depth do you save in? If it's 8 bit and do much in Curves or Levels there'll be all sorts of gaps in the histogram, that can be seen in prints. It's much more visable hit than repeated high quality JPG saves. Unless I know I'm going to probably do something later to a scan, and save in PSD, I do all my work in 16 bit, convert to 8 bit and then save in JPG, quality level 10. This creates a file that is suitable for any printing that I need. If I will need prints in a particular size, I crop and resize to that size print and then usually down sample to 300 dpi and do a "save as...".
